# Timer Plus vs HIIT Timer Pro

The clearest difference is ads: HIIT Timer Pro at none against Timer Plus's shown. HIIT Timer Pro also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Timer Plus's advantage is ratings volume (61K vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HIIT Timer Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HIIT Timer Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Plus has 61K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Timer Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, HIIT Timer Pro every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
